A little scene built for New Elementary to showcase a new part for 2017 Plate 1X1 Round W/3.2 Shaft/1,5 Hole a.k.a. the “Stud with Bar” (Design ID 32828) .
Some are thinking it looks like the Coffee filter basket on an espresso machine.

LEGO Colour 107 , Dark Turquoise or Teal is a lovely colour.
Mark’s first set as a LEGO designer, was the Exo-Force Dark Panther. He had the choice of making it in either Purple or Teal, and whichever colour he chose, the other would be cut from the LEGO colour palette.
Obviously he chose purple…so Mark Stafford Killed Teal.
There are a few different ‘flavours’ or ‘cooked states’ of LEGO hotdog now.
Sand Blue – frozen
Flesh – raw
Red – cooked
Dark Red – well done
Black – burnt to a crisp.
Now LEGO just need to make some wholemeal hotdog buns 🙂
Flowing water with LEGO doesn’t always follow the rules…
This build all started with the part Wave Rounded Energy (Power Blast) with Bar Handle as all I could see was flowing water!

The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, otherwise known as ‘Trump’s Maggie’ met with President Trump on Friday 27th Jan 2017 in the Oval Office at the White House. Their Special relationship status was denoted by the table prepared with a single red rose from the ever charming President Trump. Soon it was time to exchange gifts.
Thankfully Theresa (or Tessie FooFoo as Trump likes to call her) arrived prepared with her gift – a Quaich, a Scottish silver drinking dish that is a symbol of friendship and trust.
In return, Trump gave her a nice shiny black rifle to protect herself from all the immigrants entering Europe. What a gent!
God Bless Help America 😉
UK LEGO Prices up 5%
Yes it’s true, LEGO are increasing the cost of LEGO in the UK by 5% thanks to the falling pound post-Brexit.
I did actually vote to stay in the EU although I have to admit the potential increase in the cost of LEGO was not my motivation for this (what kind of LEGO fan am I???) This build is not necessarily a direct reflection of my own opinions on the subject.
Built for a NEWS item on The Brothers Brick UK LEGO price to increase 5%
